6 mos later - in same boat. HOW TO STAY GOOD ON WEEKENDS?!
I can be really good during the week and then the weekend hits and I'm a mess. I purposely started last Wednesday so that I would have 2 full good days before going into the weekend. I didn't do as bad as I usually do, but it still wasn't that good when I have 100+ lbs to lose. :( Would wearing a tracker on my wrist help?

If your MFP friends met you in real life what about you would surprise them? I think people would be surprised that I am actually rather short (not quite 5'3").
